I agree. Marcelo is a moron for turning down this guy. Although we don't run the MS stack, my startup would kill to have a guy like this to join. It is completely laughable to me that this guy has to do a side project to prove he is worthy of a startup. Just have a few beers with him and talk over the problems you are working on and see if he has good ideas on how to solve them. If he does, you've got a hire. If he really needs hand holding (and seriously does an award winning guy like this need hand holding???) then say it isnt a good fit.
